Caption This! Winner: In Hindsight...

Fri, Mar 22, 2013 12:53 PM by Andy Neuenschwander

Every once in a great while, the people of the Internet band together in a united front in order to make a change in the world. Usually it's for something useless like signing a petition to build a Death Star, but hey, their hearts are in the right place.

So naturally, we were touched to see so much support for Matthew here in the form of likes on his funny comment:

But this is neither a democracy nor a cheer-ocracy. And we don't like rewarding those who use creepy pedophiles as punchlines, because we do that quite enough ourselves, thank you very much.

That said, Matthew gave a pretty funny comment and we'll give him the Audience Award, which has helped critics everywhere cover their asses for years.

Here's this week's official Caption This! winner:

Congratulations Megan! You wowed us with your clever wordplay and extensive knowledge of the latest in hair coloring trends. And maybe, just maybe, you classed this joint up a bit, if only for a moment. We now return you to your regularly scheduled GIF of Anne Hathaway's vagina with Grumpy Cat's face on it.

Come back Monday for a new Caption This contest!

Taking It By Storm

Wed, Feb 13, 2013 09:47 AM by Andy Neuenschwander

Not just any adorable scamp in an ill-fitting suit can be KVLY's Scheels Weather Kid. No, it takes chops. It takes a real passion for meteorology and gratuitous hand gestures. It takes a plucky upstart like William Hallman.

That's some damn fine weather reporting, kid. Damn fine. You should probably hone your depth perception a little and fail as a stand-up comedian first but otherwise, you're well on your way to making that Doppler Radar your bitch.

Soup Exclusive: Watch the Community Season 4 Trailer

Wed, Jan 30, 2013 03:52 PM by Andy Neuenschwander

After a long summer, half the winter and maybe a delay or two that the Internet may or may not have noticed, Community is finally returning with new episodes! You can take off your darkest timeline goatee now, because the season four trailer is here.

Will Chang divide/kill the group? How many outfits with the Dean employ this season? Will there really be a Russian threat to national security, or is the Die Hard reference just another one of those meta pop culture reference thingies?

Check out the trailer below, and tune in to tonight's episode of The Soup at 10/9c on E! for more Community goodies.

Name Blame

Fri, Jan 04, 2013 10:27 AM by Andy Neuenschwander

We're all for a good "Who's On First?" bit, but the graphics guy at this news station took things a little too far:

"Officer Policeman of the LAPD noted that the suspect is still at large. For Channel 5, I'm Localnews Anchorman. Up next at 11 is Latenight Joketeller, followed by Funnier Latenight Joketeller."

Washed Up

Thu, Jan 03, 2013 12:16 PM by Andy Neuenschwander

Ah, football. The last-second victories. The roar of the crowd. The sound of a washing machine exploding.

With the Cowboys falling to the Redskins last Sunday and missing a spot in the playoffs, fans of "America's Team" expressed their discontent with quarterback Tony Romo in many ways. This particular Cowboys fan showed his by attaching his Romo jersey to a washing machine filled with explosives and shooting it with a rifle, which is actually the preferred method of waste disposal in Texas.

We'll assume that the first two missed shots are a clever commentary on Romo's throwing accuracy.

The Soup's annual Clipdown concludes tonight, as we finish counting down the best of the worst clips of the year. But maybe you liked some other clip better than #1. Maybe you don't agree with our order. Maybe you just like clicking buttons on websites.

If any of those are true, vote for your favorite clip from the Clipdown here and let your voice be heard. Or let your click be read. Whatever, we're not changing anything anyway.

A Swift Kick in the Pants

Thu, Dec 13, 2012 03:13 PM by Jessie Gaskell and Andy Neuenschwander

Happy 23rd birthday, Taylor Swift! To celebrate your special day, we decided to compile a scrapbook of your past year, starting with romantic relationships. But the research mission quickly turned sour…

After multiple search attempts, we're beginning to think Google may be harboring some latent resentment. Did you guys used to date or something?

Finally we opted to go with a less sexy search engine, Bing. No danger of you – or anyone – having a history there.

Puss and Boots

Tue, Dec 11, 2012 03:38 PM by Lizzy Cooperman and Andy Neuenschwander

Anne Hathaway bared her soul for her role in Les Miserables, but what she bared at the premiere didn't look like a soul at all...or a vagina.

And it didn't improve Grumpy Cat's mood once he learned this was not, in fact, a private screening of Urinetown.

Trending Baby Names

Wed, Nov 28, 2012 02:44 PM by Lizzy Cooperman and Jessie Gaskell and Andy Neuenschwander

Every parent struggles to choose a baby name that will be unique, distinctive, and will stand the test of time. In an age where every classroom has their share of Madisons and Jaydens, don't you want your child's name to capture the essence of their generation? Or at least their parents' most beloved pastimes slash borderline addictive habits?

Such was the case with the Jameson family, who named their precious newborn "Hashtag."

This inspired us to offer up some other possible names for the future pageant winners, reality stars, and disgraced Congressmen of America:

Retweet Johnson

Overall Impressions

Mon, Nov 26, 2012 03:01 PM by Shannon Lucas and Andy Neuenschwander

Some folks are up in arms about Justin Bieber appearing in his casual overalls to receive the Diamond Jubilee Medal from Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Frankly, we don't see what the big deal is. If you want your historical events to have any tween cred whatsoever, let the Biebs do what he does.
